Various fannish things!

[mumblemumble]

Fic:

I posted a little drabble collection which filled five prompts on my guardianbingo card in one fell swooplet:

» Shelter
Shen Wei gen, 500 words, pre-canon

The structure was very much inspired by an earlier drabble collection called Home, so, you know. There's a happy ending in store for Shen Wei!


More Guardian Bingo things:

This leaves me with seven squares left to go on my card:

- Dragon City University
- Shen Wei
- One Bed
- Case
- Holiday
- Missed Opportunity
- Free Square!

I already have an idea for Holiday, otherwise I'm still kind of floundering. If you have any ideas (for fic or non-fic things), let me knooooooow.

Oh, and speaking of, I made a silly little "Guardian characters as candy" thread on twitter for the Lollipop square, with thanks to yue_ix for the idea. <3


End of year events:

My tree is up over at fandomtrees! I've reused a lot of elements from last year's tree, plus my Guardian wishlist and a new fandom. Asking for Guardian, DMBJ, and Parallel World fanworks and various actor icons this year. 😊

I briefly thought about doing the holiday love meme, but last year's attempt was kind of a sobering affair (three replies after linking to it multiple times), so I was like, let's not! 😄 I didn't sign up for any holiday exchanges, so that leaves fandomtrees and Guardian Bingo for the rest of this year and early January! \o/ Hoping to create a few small things for people once work is less busy and there's time to kick back and be creative.

I don't know why I'm so...averse? to participating in those anonymous memes so let me take the opportunity to tell you here that I think you're a fantastic writer and I'm grateful you're writing for Guardian. 🧡

It's weird, it's not like people aren't nice to me independently of an anon love fest, but. STILL! Please come and leave me nice comments, why won't you love meeeee! 😅 Anyway, thank you thank you 🥹, that is always so nice to hear, and right back atcha! <3 <3 <3

Oof, so sorry the love meme was disappointing last year. I've never done it before and was really lucky this year doing it the first time, but that's all the more reason not to do it again any time soon. *hugs* FWIW, you're fabulous and I'm very happy to have met you here on DW. :)

Cheering you on for the bingo!

[mumblemumble]

Oh no, I don't think there's a pattern to the love meme; I guess sometimes it just doesn't work out for everyone. But no reason not to have two successful years in a row! All those comments were well-deserved and you do a lot for the fandom! 🥰

And thank you, for the hug and the cheering. 🥹

[trobadora]

Yeah, I think ultimately it's just luck of the draw.

So sorry last year's love meme was a bust. :-( I'm not doing it this year either, nor any holiday exchanges, so high five? (I should get a fandomtrees sign-up together, though.)

Your fic is consistently incredible. So lyrical, and it conveys so much thoughtfulness and compassion. And I love seeing your posts on my Dreamwidth reading page, even if I don't always manage to comment. (That "Guardian characters as candy" is fantastic, hee!) ♥

[mumblemumble]

High-five! o/\o I love the low-stress joy of fandomtrees; no deadlines or assignments to fret over, just lots of inspiration to choose from. Cheering you on for your signup! \o/

And oh gosh, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️ That means a lot!

(The Heipaoshi chocolate stick was delicious actually.)

Heee, the candy thread is fun! :D Good luck filling your bingo card!

I don't do well with exchanges and usually give them a wide berth - that does not say anything about anyone or how much i like them, only about my aversion to stress.

[mumblemumble]

Thank you, I can use some luck! Hadn't taken into account how busy my December would be. >_<

And aw yeah, no need to participate in exchanges or this kind of memery if it's not your style! It can be a nice way to give and receive some affection, but there are other ways to appreciate your friends, of course. :-D
